1991 Pontiac Grand Prix

The 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix received several changes to its model range, including the Grand Prix GTP that replaced the Grand Prix Turbo Car. A new SE Coupe sport appearance package was offered, as well as a new Aero Performance package. Trim levels included the base LE, SE, GT, and STE. The standard engine was a 16-vale, dual overhead cam, four-cylinder unit displacing 2.3-liters and offering 160 horsepower. A 3.1-liter six-cylinder was standard in the STE and GT, and optional in the LE and SE. A 3.4-liter V6 with 210 horsepower was standard on the GTP and optional on all the other trim levels except the LE. The engine came equipped with a four-speed electronic automatic transmission which was only fitted to this engine. The other engines received either a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission.

The GTP was not considered a trim level but a model option. It added the larger engine, Y99 Rally Tuned suspension, five-speed manual transmission, Aero Performance Package, Eagle GT +4 tires and aluminum wheels, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, front articulated bucket seats, power driver's seat, cruise control, clock and steering wheel controls, six-speaker sound system, and an AM/FM cassette with equalizer.

The SE trim level was available as either a Sedan or a Coupe. They received nicer interior and exterior trims. The GT Coupe a Y99 Rally Tuned suspension, 16-inch cast-aluminum wheels, Eagle GT +4 tires, clock and steering wheel controls, six-speaker sound system, AM/FM cassette stereo with equalizer, power windows, power door locks, power driver's seat, and front bucket seats with power articulated supports.

The STE included many of the items included with the GT, except the 16-inch cast-aluminum wheels were not the same. They also received an electronic information center, a remote keyless entry system, and two additional speakers to the sound system.

New colors included a Bright White, Black, Turquoise, and Bright Blue Metallic. A new option was the Generation II head-up display.
